Description & Coverage
Description:

As our world becomes increasingly diverse and technologically-driven, the role and identities of teachers continues to change.

Cases on Teacher Identity, Diversity, and Cognition in Higher Education seeks to address this change and provide an accurate depiction of the teaching profession today. This thought-provoking collection of cases covers a range of educational contexts from preschool teaching in Europe to higher education in Australia and North America, and draws on expert knowledge of these diverse contexts, centered on a common theme of teacher identity. This book can be used by teacher educators and trainee teachers, as well as those who have an interest in social research into teaching.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Gender, Racial, and Religious Barriers in Teaching
  • Higher Education and the First Year Experience
  • Philosophies, Traditional Pedagogy, and New Technologies
  • Pre-School Teacher Identity
  • Second Career Pre-Service Teachers
  • Teacher Education for the 21st Century
  • Teacher Identity in a Non-Native Speaking Environment
Reviews & Statements

In case studies from many contexts and disciplines, scholars of education and English literature explore the role of teacher identity in shaping actions in the classroom and creating a quality learning environment. Their topics include redesigning teacher education programs to meet the needs of today's second-career pre-service teachers, exploring the identity of non-native teachers of English through narratives of their experience, the life stories of three teachers returning to Pakistan after studying in Britain, constructing an identity through innovative teaching practices, and the role of motivation in teaching tertiary level students.
